Meditations on "Surrender"

All our lives God has pursued us with His love, but we were usually too self-absorbed to stop and listen to Him.

For all of us it is difficult to face pain and need in our lives.

When we turn our will and our life over to the care of God we are surrendering ourselves to the work of God in our lives.

When we admitted that our lives had become unmanageable, many of us entered into detox and then treatment programs where we found support, and daily we grew stronger.

From cover to cover the Bible is filled with wisdom and good direction for our lives.

In recovery circles there is a saying, “You are only as sick as your secrets.

Jesus is risen from the dead! Because He lives, we also shall live.

Do I truly want a life of intimacy with God in recovery?

Seasons change. The temperature warms up. The grass begins to grow again.

It doesn’t take a long time in recovery for us to realize how much better life is than we ever thought possible.

When we admit to our helpless state and surrender ourselves to the care of God, we will be born again into a new life.

To stop using our substance of choice is a great beginning in recovery but God knows that unless we deal with the underlying root of our habits and addictive practices we remain doomed for failure.
